survey data
208626The Latino National Survey (LNS) contains 8,634 completed
interviews (unweighted) of self-identified Latino/Hispanic residents
of the United States. Interviewing began on November 17, 2005, and
continued through August 4, 2006. The survey instrument contained
approximately 165 distinct items ranging from demographic descriptions
to political attitudes and policy preferences, as well as a variety of
social indicators and experiences. All interviewers were bilingual,
English and Spanish. Respondents were greeted in both languages and
were immediately offered the opportunity to interview in either
language. Interviewers also provided a consent script that allowed
respondents to opt out of the survey. Demographic variables include
age, ancestry, birthplace, education level, ethnicity, marital status,
military service, number of people in the household, number of
children under the age of 18 living in the household, political party
affiliation, political ideology, religiosity, religious preference,
race, and sex.
